Title: Medical advice needed. Post by: brummieboy on March 12, 2007, 02:46:45 PM Is there any point going to the doctors five days after a suspected broken nose??
Playing football last Thursday, went for a header but headed my opponants head instead. Normally I come off better in these situations but this time my nose poured with blood for over ten mins. (Teammates were really caring they stuck me in goal and carried on.) When I got home there was a large cut in the middle of the top of my nose and another cut at the bottom left corner. I've had quite a few bangs on my nose in my time so didn't seek medical help. However it's still seriously throbbing and can't breathe through it too well at the moment. Yesterday it felt like I was coming down with a cold as well but when I blew my nose I just get a bad nosebleed. Shall I see the quack or have I left it too late??????

If it needs resetting they will do it there.
